Famous quotes containing the word years:
“Her fist of a face died clenched on a round pain;
And sculptured Ann is seventy years of stone.
These cloud-sopped, marble hands, this monumental
Argument of the hewn voice, gesture and psalm,
Storm me forever over her grave”
—Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
“The General Strike has taught the working class more in four days than years of talking could have done.”
—A.J. (Arthur James)
